Demons Battle

The mystery man of The Strongest Five

.

“Shit Gabriel is already out..”

Agatha was kneeling helplessly on the ground. She was now able to kneel thanks to Gabriel. Gabriel actually broke through Daniel’s Ki. How did he actually do it? Not even her could do it. So how?

Gabriel was seen lying on the ground before Daniel’s Feet. What Gabriel did just now was shocking to her but that doesn’t matter now. He was not successful. The red light glowing from his bracelet now could attest to that fact. No it was not a total failure. The reason why she’s kneeling now was because of Gabriel’s unexpected attack. Daniel stopped his Ki-strain to focus on Gabriel, so right now Gabriel bought her time. Either way there was still a confused look on her face. Her expression was a clear giveaway of her bewilderment. What will I do? What can I do?

Was there anything for her to even do now? Can she even over power Daniel now? Overpower Daniel? That’s not even possible. Agatha bit her lips and looked at Yua. This was also the end for her. There was a frightened look on Yua’s face. She turned her gazed back to the unconscious Gabriel.

‘This doesn’t feel right. There’s definitely no hope of winning against him. But Gabriel-Kun didn’t give up. I can’t disgrace myself as his senior by giving up. If I’m going to go out..’

Agatha clenched her fist and gritted her teeth.

‘..I will go out while fighting till the end!’

Gravity pull!

“What the hell?” Agatha shouted as she got pulled towards Gabriel.

Daniel quickly turned around and caught her by the neck. Her feet were no longer on the ground. Daniel hung her up in air with just one hand and tighten his grip on her neck. One of her eyes was closed and her baring teeth was seen. Daniel’s grip on her neck was really uncomfortable. His tightened grip was already blocking her airflow. No the intention of his grip was to block her airflow. Still there was one more thing she felt worry about other than Daniel’s firm grip to her neck.

She was the one who did the pull. Daniel was supposed to be pulled towards her. Instead it was the other way around.

Her dour gaze fell towards and she struggled to open her mouth “How?”

Daniel made a mischievous smile and opened his mouth “It’s actually simple. My Ki is way higher than yours. I just had to repel your ability with my Ki and that was it”

Gabriel tightened his grip on her neck even more and continued speaking “..but I was not really expecting your ability to act against you when I repelled it. Sorry but this is where round two ends for you”

Agatha held Daniel’s hand with both her hands as she struggled against his grip. Still her struggle was to no avail. She opened her mouth with an attempt to suck in air but Daniel’s grip was restricting her intake of air.

“Shit..” She could feel her consciousness already fading away. It was at this moment she knew her elimination in this round two was inevitable.

This is truly the power of a member of The Strongest Five. Honestly speaking she and her group members have been actually lucky to get this far. They all stayed till this last moment. The rest members of The Strongest Five even got eliminated before them. They were all able to take Arata and Kim out. Luck got to them with Hideyo.

‘...we got through the whole four members. Wait was it four? Arata,Kim and Hideyo. There’s one more person remaining...’

‘ Oh I forgot the last mystery member...we didn’t actually meet him...’

The last member of the Strongest five. Nobody knows the identity of this member. Although almost everybody could feel his presence and at the same time they can’t tell if he was there.  He was a ghost. He became a mystery that people in the Dojo began arguing about his existence. Some says he doesn’t exist. Some says he do.

Agatha laughed inwardly ‘This round two just proves it..The mystery guy doesn’t exist then. At least I did not lose the argument’

She made a sad smile. Her Group might not actually be the Strongest but she was glad to be in Group C.

She looked blankly into the air.

Her memories of the Representative tournament went through her mind as the scenery before her eyes became dark. The upper walls of the tunnel was the last scenery she saw before the darkness consumed her sight. This was it. The End for her.

...Then a loud impacting sound echoed through her Ears.

Suddenly She could breathe. And this moment, she found herself on the Ground.

Cough!Cough!Cough!

‘Wait what the hell just happened? He let go?’

Did Daniel willingly let go? No there’s no in hell that could happen. Which means someone made him let go. But who? Who could make Daniel let go of his grip at such a moment?

She looked forward and a sudden bright light welcomed her sight. What’s this light? She dimmed her eyes. No it’s an aura. What’s this?

There was a back figure of someone standing in front of her. The Aura surrounding the figure became faint. There were a dark lines drawn around the figure of this person’s body. Agatha narrowed her eyes towards the Figure in front of her.

There’s not doubt about it. This was definitely the figure of woman. The girl was wearing a red Gi uniform. Was there any other person apart from she, Yua and Daniel? She and Daniel was the only red Gi fighters remaining in this round two so this mystery red Gi fighter standing in front of her was unexplainable. There were only four people each group except their group that had five members. So where did this person come from? It just looked mysterious.

Wait mystery? There’s no other explanation for such a situation. The fact this was a mystery then the rumors are actually true. This is the last Member of the Strongest Five. And he’s a She!

“Are you okay?”

Agatha was startled by the voice of this person. That’s not just it. This voice sounded very familiar.

The Faint Green Aura covering the whole body of the girl subsided. She could see the girl more clearly now. The first thing she noticed was the bracelet on hand. The bracelet was giving out a blue glow. She looked up and noticed the girl’s green hair. There was a glint of astonishment in her eyes that she couldn’t stop herself from opening her mouth.

“...Yua?”

“..Yes Agatha can you move?”

Agatha couldn’t believe it. She looked around to find the Yua she knew but there was no other person in sight. This was really Yua.

“...But wait you were wearing a blue Gym outfit? Since..No how are you now wearing a red Gym outfit all of a sudden?”

“ That’s because I’m a Red Gi student. I’ll ask again can you move?”

Agatha was perplexed. What’s with the sudden tone of voice? She’s no longer stuttering anymore. No she looks like an entirely different person now.

It was a really shocking fact for Agatha. She had perceived Yua to be a very shy and self conscious from the very start. Was Yua actually faking it from the very start?

“Hey can you move? This is the third time I’m asking you this.”

Agatha belatedly replied “Yeah I can”

“Then we’re going to attack him. We will go all out on him now.”

Agatha stood up and walked forward. Daniel was now standing from a distance. His expression is calm. He’s not in anyway looking surprised as her. Wait did he know Yua was the mystery member of The Strongest Five.

Now that she’s thinking about it. Daniel could have gone straight for Yua. If he eliminates Yua, he eliminates the full group but he didn’t. Instead he chose to take the rest of us out one by one. It was like he was saving her for the last. Was he intending to fight her all alone? Agatha could not even tell if she was thinking straight again. She was broken from her flood of thoughts by Daniel’s voice.

“How have you been little sister?”

“Huh? Wait little sister?”

Agatha was shocked by Gabriel’s last statement. Did he just call Yua his little sister? Are these two actually planning on shocking her to death? She just found out Yua is the mystery member of The Strongest Five and now this.

“Is there anything you told us about yourself that was true? You fucking liar?!”

Agatha saw Yua glanced at her as lips moved. “I didn’t lie. I just didn’t tell you about me completely.”

“What the-“

“Agatha. We should focus on him for now. We will talk later.”

Agatha’s expression became grim after Yua interrupted her. Yua interrupted her? The Yua she met at first would have never done this. No that Yua didn’t have the heart to do such a thing. Now she can’t tell why but she could feel it. This was a different Yua.

Daniel’s laughter was heard from the close by.

“Hey little sister. I can’t understand. Why did save her? She’s going to get in the way of our chit-chat.”

“Well I need her to win against you. That’s why.”

“You are as serious as ever. Tell me why did you suddenly chose to challenge me? I thought you were gonna sit this one out too.”

“Let’s say I just had a change of mind”

At this moment Daniel adjusted his posture to a fighting stance. He’s already at a fighting stance? Daniel barely showed a serious expression while he fought against them a while ago. Now Daniel was taking a stance. There’s no about it. He’s clearly acknowledging the strength of his opponent.

The next thing Agatha felt was the intense heaviness on her shoulders. Shit! He’s straining his ki again. Just like before, it was a feeling of large mountain was resting on her shoulder.

Then all of a sudden the she felt a relief. She could no longer feel Daniel’s Ki.

“Nice. You’re canceling out my Ki with your own Ki.

At this moment Agatha new that the next movement from Daniel now was an attack but right she was confused. Even with Yua by her side, she was unable to tell how useful she would be in this fight. She can barely cope with Daniel’s ki much less his movements.

Doubt was written all over Agatha’s face. All the hairs in her body had already risen. At this moment she could feel her hands sweating profusely. Any second now the clash between him and them would begin. Then she heard Yua’s Calm voice.

“My ability is...”

In such a tensed situation like this her voice was still calm. No there was strength in this voice but her next words now where more important.

“...Distortion. I can make two opposing realities possible at the same time”

She listened very clearly but Yua’s explanation of her ability sounded too ambiguous for her. Agatha quickly opened her mouth “Wait what what does that even mean?”

“Brace yourself!”

And then a clashing sound echoed right in front of Yua. Daniel had already made his move. Yua was already holding her ground against Daniel.

Then a strong wind blew towards her face with every impacting sounds of attack. She looked at the two people combating against each other with awe. Yua asked her if she could move. Yes she could move now but right now she can barely even follow the movements of both Daniel and Yua. They were totally on another level.

Agatha wondered ‘ What..can I even do here?’

It was a thought of astonishment but right now she knew. She could feel it in her bones ‘If I step out there right now. I’ll clearly be a distraction.’

Author note- “Ki-Stain” is a process where someone extend his ki from his body to pressurized his fellow opponent.
